The immigrating group may have been relatively small one, such as Normans who came to England in 1066 and who nearly turned England into French speaking country- while they originally had been Scandinavi ans, speaking N. Germanic. This may supply a model for the Indo- Aryan immigration as well........However, the introduction of the horse and especially of the horse-drawn chariot was a powerful weapon in the hands of the Indo-Aryans. It must have helped to secure military and political dominance even if some of the local elite were indeed quick to introduce the new cattle-based economy and the weapon, the horse drawn chariot, - just as the Near Eastern peoples did on a much larger and planned scale.
